Kitty Burns is attracting plenty of attention for its beautiful interior design and eye-catching food. Like Frankie Says, Kitty Burns takes its place within the Sanctuary apartment complex. The interior, courtesy of Biasol: Design Studio, features plenty of pale woods, pastels and white ceramic tiling. The bright, light-filled space feels even more open with its high ceilings, and though we didn't sit there, those booth seats looked enticingly private and cosy. Kitty Burn's chef, Aaron Duffy, has been pumping out beautifully presented dishes from a menu that reads so...

Another season, another menu. Long Story Short is one of the new kids on the block, joining the ranks of many both established and up-and-coming cafes in Richmond. Previously the site of Zaza's, just tucked away from Bridge Road, the space has now been transformed into a cafe that is building up a loyal following. As with the previous fit-out, it's relaxed and friendly inside, but a bit of a refresh gives it a touch more warmth that suits the cafe very well. The coming of a new...

The understated facade of Bawa Cafe is easy to miss while driving past if not for the buzz of people milling around the front door. It's only been open for a few weeks but it's attracted plenty of attention, and it's easy to see why. Bawa Cafe is co-owned by Shri Bhagwandas, Kael, Matt and Elias Sahely and Chris Griffiths (also head chef). The team have racked up a pretty impressive resume, being responsible for other incredibly successful cafes including Barry, Dukes Coffee Roasters, Pillar of Salt, Square...

I've driven past Sardi many times, seen how busy it was and for some reason initially thinking it was a small Italian restaurant. Eventually I came to realise it was actually a cafe, and decided to pop by on one of my free days. It's small and tight inside, and busy but cosy. You know you've got a good thing going when all sorts of people, young and old, are walking through the doors. There's a healthy bent to the all-day breakfast and lunch menu. Superfood breakfast bowls, a...
